Proposal: Essay 2
The past chapter was full of stories about families. I enjoyed reading many of the story and loved the movie Ordinary People. For this essay I want to focus of "Bone Black." I want to explore how abuse can effect children in a family. I believe that whether the children are hit or not they are being abused. They are taking in ideals that can scar deeper than physical wounds and since they are younger this sometimes can become a way of life. I will discuss how negatively both parents are viewed. The girl in "Bone Black" lost respect for her mother (the one being abused) because of the lack of communication, she didn’t feel like she stood up for herself. And when the daughter wanted to stand up in her mothers’ defense she was either deferred away for the situation or couldn’t get through as being positive. I want to research more on abuse and why people do it and show how it affects each individual in a family differently.

I think this is a fine topic. I also like the idea of focusing your anaylsis and research on both parents and the child, providing different perspectives. Research could help you see this from each point of view. Why do men abuse women? Does this give them power where they feel they have none? Why does the mother in the story resent the daughter? Is this typical or atypical in real abusive households?
